RCV000182858 | SCV000235246 | pathogenic | not provided | 2011-07-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This mutation is denoted Arg190Gly (aka R190G) at the protein level and c.568 A>G at the cDNA level. The Arg190Gly mutation in the RYR2 gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation nor as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. Arg190Gly results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a positively charged Arginine with a non-polar Glycine at a residue that is highly conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Arg190Gly is probably damaging to the protein structure/function (Adzhubei, et al. 2010). In addition, Arg190Gly is located in the N-terminal mutation hot spot in the RYR2 gene, and mutations in nearby codons (Val186Met, Glu189Asp) have also been reported in association with CPVT, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein (Medeiros-Domingo, et al. 2009). Furthermore, Arg190Gly was not detected in up to 600 alleles from control individuals of Caucasian and African American ancestry tested at GeneDx, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The variant is found in CPVT panel(s). |
